Prolonged lefft leg swelling
My father is 70 years old and weighs 82 kg. He has a history of diabetes, high blood pressure, and COPD. 2yrs back, he was diagnosed with COVID-19, and his CT scan score was 16. Thankfully, he has recovered from COVID-19.
He experiences imbalance while walking, requiring support. Additionally, his legs exhibit jerking movements during sleep.
After recovering from COVID-19, he has been experiencing shortness of breath. Even a few steps cause breathing issues, which gradually improve when he rests.
His blood sugar levels have been under control for the past six months. However, his left leg has been consistently swelling. Last month, the doctor administered antibiotic injections for a week to address this and doctor last time mentioned that it was a side effect sugar tablet(gemer p1), but the swelling has returned.
Could someone please suggest a hospital in Karnataka/Mangalore where we can get him checked? Additionally, which specialist should we consult for his condition?"
